Aberdeen's team of the 80s | Currie Club - The Scottish Football Sessions

[@BeatPoet67]

I'm a Celtic supporter, but was a student in Aberdeen when Fergie was there and used to go and watch them. They were an absolutely marvellous side. I can't believe it was 40 years ago. Great seeing these two reminisce.

[@Doggomorph]

How was football back then?

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

As a Bluenose this was fckn superb, Superb manager, superb players & dare I say it, superb fans of that most excellent era in the history of Aberdeen FC. 🙏🏻

[@gavb9816]

I was a teenager following the reds in that period. The fans werent great! This was one of Europes top teams for 4/5 years, playing on front of half empty stadiums! Our support to hampden was poor. Nowadays we take 20k back then we took 12/14k max! We took 40k to hampden in 2014.Thats what this team should have been getting

[@leemcqueen500]

This is by far fergie's greatest achievement.

[@scottw.3258]

As a Dons fan i always love seeing the greats talk about the glory days. I was a wee 6 year old when we won the title in 1980, and as the 80's progressed i just believed the Dons winning trophies was the norm, and would continue for ever. The memories Fergies Dons gave me back then are imprinted, they were great days, unbelievable. The only Scottish team with two European honours to our name. The last club to have beaten Real Madrid in a European Final. The last team outwith the Old Firm to win the title. The only team outwith the Old Firm to win three Scottish Cups in a row.

As an Aberdeen boy i love this. I was born in 77, Never went to Gothemberg but remember sitting on my dads shoulders in Union Street when they came back winners on the bus. There was thousands of people and a sea of red and white. Brillant memories. What a team,and what a manager. Stand Free.👍⚽️

[@toddy505]

Rangers fan here, they were brilliant, really special, one of the best Scottish teams of any era, to dominate the Old Firm takes some doing in Scotland.

[@yvonnejohnston9429]

yeh, im the same, one of the best aberdeen teams in years, just shows how things have changed through the years.

[@vinniedixon1140]

If Fergie hadn't left to manage Man Utd they'd have won even more trophies in Scotland. Back then teams hated going Aberdeen to play them as Fergie broke the Celtic/Rangers stranglehold.

[@robertmclean3612]

Had rangers not won league again before he left ??

[@neildiamondo6445]

I'm a Don's fan. I don't think we would have won much. Rangers money changed everything

Two icons of Scottish football. Being from England we didn't get to see much Scottish football back then but I do remember running home from footy training to see this legendary game. I doubt we'll ever see a team of (pretty much) all Scottish players win a major European trophy again. Alex Ferguson is the greatest manager of all time.
